SwiftRequest 0.0.4

You want to add pod 'SwiftRequest', '~> 0.0' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'SwiftRequest', '~> 0.0'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try SwiftRequest

  if( err == nil ) {
    println(body)
  }
})
